Spying on Nature
Few of us will ever get out into the “woods” to observe nature. Since my childhood, I have always remembered that the Bald Eagle was an endangered species. Recently, I have read that the federal government is lifting the endangered protection status on this magnificent bird. Recently, I was ice fishing and tossed a small catch onto the ice. A few minutes later an eagle swooped down and grabbed “dinner”. All of this was only 6 feet from where I was standing. What an experience.
Even if we don’t get personally get close to nature , we can be observers form the comfort of our home or office. . I have watched a variety of animals on one site in Africa – www.africam.com. Another that is closer to home (Maine) is http://www.briloon.org. A couple years ago the site captured the birth and feeding of eaglets. It is so much easier than climbing a tree and sneaking through the woods to get a glimpse of these magnificent creatures. This year, an additional camera is being installed. So, as we embrace spring, take a peak and watch what goes on in the wilderness. Eagles lay and hatch eggs during the spring months. It becomes an active site. They have another camera that watches loons.
If you have a favorite webcam that observes animals in any part of the world, I’d like to know about it.
